2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate, commonly known as Isooctyl Nitrate, is a widely used organic compound. It is typically a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint characteristic odor. It is insoluble in water but miscible with most organic solvents, fuels, and lubricating oils. It has good thermal stability within a suitable temperature range and is chemically compatible with common petroleum-based products. It is mainly applied in the petroleum and fuel industries, and also has some specialized uses in related industrial fields, valued for its ability to improve fuel performance effectively.

Efficacy

Fuel Cetane Number Improver: It is a high-performance cetane number booster for diesel fuel. It can significantly increase the cetane number of diesel, accelerating the ignition process of diesel in the engine cylinder, shortening the ignition delay period. This helps to improve the combustion efficiency of diesel, reduce engine knocking and vibration, make the engine run more smoothly, and also reduce the emission of pollutants such as unburned hydrocarbons and particulate matter.

Cold Start Performance Enhancement: By improving the ignition performance of diesel fuel, it can effectively enhance the cold start capability of diesel engines, especially in low-temperature environments. It reduces the difficulty of starting the engine, shortens the starting time, and reduces the wear and tear of engine components caused by difficult cold starts.

Combustion System Protection: It can optimize the combustion process of diesel fuel, making the fuel burn more completely. This not only improves the thermal efficiency of the engine and saves fuel consumption, but also reduces the formation of carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, fuel injectors and other components, helping to maintain the cleanliness of the engine combustion system and extend the service life of related parts.

Compatibility with Fuel Additive Packages: It has excellent compatibility with other fuel additives, such as detergents, dispersants, anti-wear agents and antioxidants. It can be used in combination with these additives to form a comprehensive fuel additive package, which can further improve the overall performance of diesel fuel and meet more stringent engine requirements and environmental protection standards.
